Terry Lamont Smith, 24, has prior felony convictions for burglary, grand larceny and distribution of crack. On Dec. 16, 2006, police responded to a shooting at the Tiger Mart located at 1208 E. Main St., Dillon. They found the victim lying on the floor with a single gunshot wound to the right side of his chest.
Witnesses told police the victim was vacuuming a woman’s car when Smith approached wearing a ski mask and began a fight with the victim. When Smith’s mask came off during the struggle, the victim recognized Smith. Smith then shot the victim and fled the scene.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Rose Mary Parham of the Florence office prosecuted the case as part of Project CeaseFire, an initiative of the U.S. Attorneys Office that seeks to aggressively prosecute gun-related crimes.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also investigated this case.
